Access denied to My Documents on extra HD.

[Belgarath]

I've got a HD from another PC but cannot get access to the Profile name and thus "My Documents" under Documents and Settings. All accounts on both HD are administrator accounts.

Take ownership of the folder... not sure what OS you're running, but its something like:
right click folder
properties
security
advanced
owner

(just because you're admin, doesn't mean you automatically have access).

yip, done what xrapidx said a few times... works a charm!

That's worked for me a few times in the past aswell.
